Bright and Airy Home Office

For obvious reasons (couCOVIDgh), home office spaces have seen a huge surge in popularity over the past few years. Research has also shown that it is easier to separate work life and home life when you have a separate space to work than where you hang out with friends/family. Ideally, this would be a completely separate space, but in reality not everyone has a home large enough to designate an entire space to an office. In this case, I recommend a small desk and chair that can be tucked in a corner and designated as the work space. If you do have the space for a designated home office, think about what you need to plan for such as: storage, printer, computer, guest seating, zoom calls, etc. The layout on the board below is my go-to option for most home offices. It doesn’t always work, but is a great option that allows for ample storage, a great backdrop for zoom calls, seating for guests, and flexibility in workspaces.

Here is an bright and airy small home office design that takes all of these items into account (with shopping links below.)

Hi, I’m Brittany — a residential interior designer based just outside Richmond, Virginia, where I live with my husband, two daughters, and our wild little dog. I started my career as a teacher, but after taking time off to stay home with my kids, I realized I was ready for a new chapter — one that blended creativity, problem solving, and helping people feel good in their homes. Now, I use my design degree (and teaching instincts) to guide homeowners through the design process so they can make confident choices and create spaces that truly support their lives.
